Itinerary description
It’s an easy hike basically, the only challenge part is when you have to climb up and down on one mountain with loose rocks. So be very careful! Rest is just following the wadi area. FYI, you will be crossing in an intersection that connects to Wadi Ar’ar which is also a good place to hike.

I would definitely say this is a moderate to difficult hike. Especially if there's been rain. The rocks were really slippery and difficult to figure out. Hiking boots a must
Hi Sian. Yes that one mountain was the only challenge for this trail. It is quite slippery specially after the rain but i hope you were fine and didn’t get any serious injury during the hike.
This was not an easy or beginners hike at all. it was technical and can be dangerous for any beginner if they are not with an experienced hiker. The ascent was a lot of rock scrambling and a basic pair of Nikes and being a beginner is not advised at all since the descent is just as as steep from the other side. Indeed following through the Wadi was straight forward but again after rainfall the first 4km up until past the descent is under no means seen to be an easy hike. I would say moderate leaning towards intermediate.
Otherwise all good and a very enjoyable, and challenging at some parts hike! Yep i would do it again :)
Hi Uzy777. I rated the hike as moderate in the wikiloc. I also mentioned the mountain part with loose rocks and warned hikers to be careful. There is always a danger in every hikes whether it’s easy or difficult that’s why she should do our own research and don’t overestimate ourselves. I am glad you enjoyed the trail 😀
Cheers Ann - and great find of a 10km hike :)
To more hikes to come uzy777 ☺️
